If spoken to before the investigation:

"Don't think to start any trouble. None of us are in a forgiving mood."

As you approach the storeroom to investigate the missing supplies, Malin will stop you in your tracks:

"That's far enough. The storeroom is off limits. Ambassador Tarinwe's orders."
Ambassador Tarinwe sent me to inspect the storeroom.
"She did? That's different, then. Show me her orders and I'll stand aside."
She didn't give me any orders.
"Then I can't let you inside. Her instructions were very specific—no one gets in without her written permission. I'm to remain at my post until relieved.
Except in an emergency, of course."
What kind of emergency?
"The Khajiit could riot. That would be bad, very bad.
Or a fire, of course. But the chances of that happening are slim."
I really need to get into that storeroom.
"I'm here on the Ambassador's orders. I can't leave my post unless there's an emergency."
How much would it cost for you to take a walk?[led GoldLeveled Gold Gold]
"About that much! I'd say that's worth a five minute stroll. Be about your business, citizen."
[Intimidate] If you don't step aside, you're going to have an emergency.
"I ….
What? Did you hear that? I could've sworn it was my captain, calling me away."
Never mind. I'll figure something out.
"Suit yourself."

Or

"Very well. I'll be here, waiting on those orders."

If you try to speak to him after trying to "figure something out" he'll stress:

"I already told you. Access to the storeroom is restricted. If you want to get in, show me written orders from the ambassador."

If you were unable to get past him, you can get Donganiel to help you with a distraction. Donganiel will start setting some barrels and crates alight when the Corparal comes to investigate:

Corporal Malin: "Smoke? What's going on?"
Corporal Malin: "What are you doing?"
Donganiel: "What does it look like? I'm clearing away some rubbish."
Corporal Malin: "By burning down the embassy?"
Donganiel: "I'm watching the fire! I won't let it get out of control."
Corporal Malin: "Unless you want the ambassador to hear about this, you'll put it out at once!"

Another option is to get Mahiralit to throw rocks at the embassy, which will cause Corporal Malin to tell Mahiralit to stop:

Corporal Malin: "You! Stop that at once!"
Mahiralit: "Finally, this one gets some attention!"
Corporal Malin: "You'll start a riot, you fool! This isn't the way!"

Bugs[edit]
